"This charming game is chill and consuming in one go. Think GuitarHero but with piano and for your phone. Choose from a load of song options, from classics to current hits, and follow the dots to play along."

I wrote an essay this week about learning to accept my weird eating habits. I was really nervous about it (both writing and publishing), but seeing the comments from people who had similar anxieties made me feel great. Cut yourself some slack, and be open about your compassion towards yourself – and you'll be surprised how people respond.

"As someone who used to define herself vis-a-vis her work ethic, to become unable to act upon that work ethic is nearly intolerable. My deep fear is that I'm secretly slothful and am using chronic illness to disguise the sick rot of laziness within myself. Surely I can rouse myself from this bed and bring myself to my desk? Surely I can pull myself up by the bootstraps and force myself to work? Instead of bragging online and in person about how much work I've accomplished, I post selfies from my bed, as if to prove that I am, indeed, ill. "

5.If you've got 20 minutes: Take control of your schedule.

"I always take Mondays slowly when I can. I’ll use my flexible time at work and get in later, I’ll give myself an extra break if I need to and treat myself to a nice lunch instead of a packed lunch, just to ease me into the week again."

If you don't have flexible work hours (or if your work schedule is just very busy), try and block out 20 minutes on your busiest day, to just press reset. Tuesdays are always very busy for me, so I have a two-hour fake meeting in my calendar – which means that even if things are piling up, I can still keep some time aside.

“When you are in a period when your depression is more manageable, cook as much food as you can that freezes, then portion it out in ziplock bags, mason jars, and tupperware. Pasta, soup, pulled pork/chicken, black beans, etc. all freeze really well, and when you are in a low period and have no energy, just pull it out of the freezer and microwave it.” —Kristina Tobin, Facebook
